But I was surprised by a lot of the missing titles myself, most especially MAN ON THE MOON -- I can't believe I still haven't seen that. This post was a good reminder to knock several of these titles onto my Watch Soon list, at least.

It's such a great 1990s high school vibe movie but it's also much smarter than that, has some great one liners and some really good actors (both Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger are amazing in it, and baby Joseph Gordon-Levitt is just adorable). tanpoffelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13372093.post-54758571591818722612021-02-24T02:28:56.264-05:002021-02-24T02:28:56.264-05:00The Straight Story
Being John Malcovich
Eyes Wide ...The Straight Story<br />Being John Malcovich<br />Eyes Wide Shut <br />Those are the three Iβd watch over again in a heartbeat. A great year for film. I still think that Eyes Wide Shut was edited to cover that they were having sex with children, and that Kubrick paid the ultimate price for what he tried to expose. The visuals do not in any way match the weight of the score at the sex party, and the secrecy of it all. Iβm probably wrong, but we do know the ending was changed and it was never disclosed what was removed or covered over.

And so many reasons to fall in love with Julianne Moore. <br /><br />With as many movies as you've watched, I'm surprised you've missed some of the classics of that year: Man on the Moon, 10 Things I Hate About You (starmaking turn for Heath), Buena Vista Social Club, American Movie (this one might be worth a rewatch to see if it holds up, it was very much of its era). <br /><br />You should see Mansfield Park, just since you're so friendly with Alessandro Nivola (first time I remember seeing him).

I don...Prime Scott Caan to wrap up the post! Nice!<br /><br />I don't know that I'd say '99 was the best, but I guess it's all a matter of age and perspective. My vote would go to 1988 with 1974 being thisclose of the years since I've been able to go to the movie theatre unaccompanied by an adult! But there were many great movies that came out this year. <br /><br />I really need to knuckle down and watch Being John Malkovich. I'm not his biggest fan which has kept me from it but everyone seems to love it so. There are a couple others on your list that are still blind spots for me (I'll probably never see Eyes Wide Shut-the idea of spending over two hours with both Kidman AND Cruise gives me hives) but there are some very fine films there too. <br /><br />I see you've finally caught up with October Sky and its a runner-up! Love that movie, it's my favorite of the year actually. <br /><br />I think our list are going to be very different but that just shows how many quality choices there were this year.<br /><br />My top 15:<br /><br />October Sky<br />Tea with Mussolini <br />Cider House Rules<br />The Mummy<br />Blast From the Past<br />Galaxy Quest<br />The Sixth Sense<br />Second Skin <br />Trick<br />Mansfield Park<br />The Big Tease<br />The Talented Mr. Ripley<br />The Hurricane<br />Beau Travail<br />Election<br /><br />Runner-Ups<br /><br />An Ideal Husband<br />Any Given Sunday<br />Bowfinger<br />Double Jeopardy<br />The Insider<br />Mumford<br />Office Space<br />Runaway Bride<br />Sheβs All That<br />Sleepy Hollow<br />Varsity Blues<br />joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.com
